Well, most visitors order at least a samgyetang each, and I really recommend that as it is indeed tasty. There are also other items on the menu but the samgyetang is the speciality here.
So if you are ordering samgyetang, that’s around W16,000 (W23,000 forcthe black chicken). Not sure whether the prices are current though.

You can order the ginseng chicken for the adults & maybe side dish for the kids. They have the nice pancakes. You can have the option to sit on chairs though they tend to fill up the room for sitting on the floor.
